This Day in Rock History: October 28

On this day in rock history, Kiss reached perhaps the pinnacle of their '70s-era fame, releasing Alive II just two years after the original concert document. It also marked the beginning of the end of Kiss' initial golden era, though a year later they saw the television premiere of Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park on the very same date.

Neil Young collected the best of his work – so far – in a three-album, career-spanning restrospective titled Decade. Meanwhile, Queen pared down their outsized orchestral tendencies for the nervy, harder-rocking News of the World.
